The Sun made it’s presence known for a short while Friday afternoon. We have not seen much Sunshine lately, we recorded rainfall for the 5th day in a row. I had .02 in my CoCoRaHs Rain Gauge. That is also the 12th day out of 20 for December that we have had measurable precipitation. The Nashville Office of the National Weather Service tied a Record High Temperature set last in 1889 of 73 deg. Nashville had more Sun in the afternoon than we did here in Bedford County, I recorded 70 deg for a high. The overcast has broken up some and we may get a little Sun this morning but looking for more clouds and rain tonight. The people that know about these things say we could even get a Thunder Shower tonight.
